The Windhover


The Windhover

Light soft breeze, he faces the West.
Ruffled feathers stationary, hovering still.
Patience personified, he waits for the probable guest.
Lavender evening meets lilac heath,
Enters a chill in the turbulent air.
Unsuspecting visitor scurries beneath.
Violet clouds hide violent ending.
Flashes of another hue streak down
Beyond gravity hidden, blending.
Bright eyes, nimble agile bird of prey
The Kestrel shivers and glides away.
